Reported: 2012-12-21 (December 21, 2012)

Keystone is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 Springdale travel trailers, model 266RLSSRWE, manufactured from October 18, 2011, through December 5, 2012. The suspension may contact the copper propane line for the range.

Consequence: If the suspension contacts the copper it may damage it resulting in a propane leak. If the propane leaks in the presence of an ignition source, there is an increased risk of fire and/or explosion will result causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Remedy: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will modify the propane line to route it away from the suspension, free of charge. The recall began on January 4, 2013. Owners may contact Keystone Customer Service by calling 1-866-425-4369.

Reported: 2013-02-15 (February 15, 2013)

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model 2013 Springdale 266RLSSR and 267BHSSR Travel Trailers, manufactured from November 19, 2012, through February 5, 2013. These vehicles were manufactured with the incorrect information on the Federal Identification Tag and Tire and Loading Information Label. The tire inflation pressure is incorrectly listed as 448 KPA (65 PSI) instead of 345 KPA (50 PSI). Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."

Consequence: Owners relying on the information contained on the label may overinflate the tires, which may result in sudden tire failure, which may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Keystone will notify owners and provide corrected labels. The recall began on February 27, 2013. Owners may contact Keystone RV Company at 1-866-425-4369.

Reported: 2013-04-23 (April 23, 2013)

If the awning installation sequence was not completely followed, the awning motor may unknowningly become damaged. A damaged motor may lead to an unfurling of the awning.

Consequence: If the awning unfurls unexpectedly either in transit or while parked, it may increase thre risk of personal injury or a crash.

Remedy: Keystone will notify owners and dealers will replace the awning motor, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2013. Owners may contact Keystone at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's campaign recall number is 13-193.

Reported: 2017-05-24 (May 24, 2017)

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Springdale recreational vehicles, model 303BH. The Federal Identification Tag on these vehicles overstate the Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity (GAWR) by 800lbs for each axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Consequence: The incorrect GAWR makes the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label incorrect and may result in the vehicle being overloaded, affecting the vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will provide a new Federal Placard with the correct GAWR and a new CCC label, free of charge. The recall began on June 20, 2017. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-289.

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling various 2003-2018 Crossroads, Dutchmen, and Keystone recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V755-5127.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.
